EllenbOrO.
An item or two from this place, |
thought, would be read with interest
although little late.
Ellenboro has been visited with plenty
of rain and crops never looked better
at this time of year. Wheat and rye
are being harvested and it has the APP
pearance of being well filed. Hay il
not half crop. Some farmers have
sown millet for hay.
Mr.. George Auperley visited his old
home few days on his return from
Chicago, where he had been to take a
car load of cattle. He lives in West
Iowa and says that it is very dry out
there. He took with him his aged par.
ents and Fave his sister all expecting
to remain till fall.
There are many picnics celebrated
in this vicinity and general good
times with plenty to eat. l have moi
seen anything in the papers about them
Having taken part in one will tel
you about it; being furnished with q
program of the exercises, l will moi
have to write much. Two teachers,
Miss Nellie King, of Platteville, of the
Geo. King school, and Miss Ella T.
Churchill, of Ellenboro, of the Licklt
school with their scholars, agreed that
on Friday the oath of June they would
meet at the Bradley grove, have theil
closing exercises, and a picnic dinner
for their scholars. The patrons OF
their respective schools, and neighbour.
ing districts joined in furnishing the
dinner and grand time we had. A
long table was erected across part o.
the grounds laden with everything COCO
to eat. Ice cream for desert, lemon
ade, ice cold, served by number o.
young ladies was relished by all. Tn,
amusements were two swings, croquet
and one german, on which the youn,
men seemed to float around in the air
judging by their smiling faces they haC
good time.

The scholars showed careful training
by their obedience and kindness tC
their teachers. The distinctness with
which they spoke their pieces was com.
mendable. The teachers deserve grea
credit and many thanks from pupil:
and patrons. nj. A. u.
